The SRC_URI ought to use:

SRC_URI_append_ti-soc or whatever you use as the common override. That
said I am struggling to understand why it didn't fail to you.

Documenting how I did run the test here:

bblayers with:

 - meta (oe-core)

MACHINE = 'qemuarm'
DISTRO = 'nodistro'
DISTRO_FEATURES_append = " x11 pam"

Using:

% yocto-check-layer ../sources/meta-ti

Your change did fix it but indeed was happening before.
